Chapter 16: Haunted Mansion
Liu was flustered by Wen Haitian's question, but she still pretended to be calm and asked, "What did mother lie to you about?"
Wen Haitian became even angrier: "Mom, are you still going to lie to me now?!"
"Gao Zhi didn't go back to the countryside to get married. You sent Gao Zhi to be a maidservant for Wen Ling's dowry!"
"You even lied to her and said that as long as she poisoned Wen Ling, as long as she came back, you would let her be my concubine!"
"Then why did you kill her?! Why did you lie to me?!"
Wen Haitian's repeated questioning made Liu even more panicked.
She didn't know what happened during her coma and denied it: "Nonsense, I didn't do any of this, where did you hear it from?"
"Did Wen Ling tell you? I told you, she just wanted to sow discord between us. She was bad by nature when she was still a fool!"
Wen Haitian's gaze towards Liu became more complicated: "Mother, these are what you and your sister said when you were crazy. I didn't even go to find Wen Ling."
Liu: “…”
She just felt like she was hit on the head with a stick.
She recalled the horrific scene last night. Could it be that Gao Zhi really came back to claim her life?
Seeing that Liu had nothing to say, Wen Haitian looked at her with great disappointment: "Mom, why are you doing this? No matter what, Gao Zhi grew up with me, she is innocent..."
Faced with the questioning of her son who had been obedient and respectful to her since childhood, Liu felt a surge of anger in her heart.
She suddenly said angrily: "How can a servant like Gao Zhi, who comes from a lowly family, be worthy of you? She flirts with you every day. It's obvious that she has evil intentions and is affecting your work!"
"What's the problem if I asked her to poison Wen Ling? Have you forgotten how we treated her over the years?
If she really returned to normal after getting married as the Taoist priest said, and became a princess again, would she let us go? ”
Wen Haitian opened his mouth and wanted to refute that he had not treated Wen Ling badly over the years, but when he recalled the past scenes, he couldn't say it.
He could only close his eyes in pain: "Mom, you make me feel strange!"
He couldn't care too much because she was his mother.
Moreover, he had no intention of seeking justice for Gao Zhi and Wen Ling. He was helpless because family disgrace should not be made public...
He could only leave disappointed and sad.
Liu suddenly felt upset that her son, who had always been filial, didn't even say a word of concern to her.
Later, Wen Tingyun also came.
Of course, he also knew the whole story of Gao Zhi's incident.
Wen Tingyun started scolding her.
She was scolded for being so audacious that she dared to tamper with Prince Chen’s wedding banquet. If the matter really got out of hand and was investigated, the entire Wen family might be finished!
He also scolded her and Wen Yao for being cowardly. Even after doing such a thing, they were still so timid and suspicious and made such a big fuss.
Wen Yao lost face in front of King Qi, and Liu caused unrest in the family.
I hope this matter won’t get out, otherwise even if there is no evidence, the Wen family will become a laughing stock in the entire capital!
After cursing, Wen Tingyun took away Liu's power as the head of the family and gave it to the concubine he had married many years ago, then left in anger.
The two people Liu wanted to hide the truth from the most, but in the end, because of a farce, she couldn't hide it from either of them.
Liu was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
She just couldn't understand how such a perfect thing could end up like this!
She didn’t believe Wen Yao’s ghost story before, but now she does.
She wants to find that master to come to her house to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits!
After scaring Liu and Wen Yao that night, Gao Zhi left the Wen family and returned to Wen Ling.
Because she discovered that there was indeed something blessing them. She could only scare or confuse them, but could not hurt them directly.
Fortunately, her goal was achieved and she tore off the hypocritical masks of Liu and Wen Yao in the Wen family.
At the same time, Wen Haitian, whom she had always been concerned about, also made her feel disappointed.
I thought that she and the eldest master grew up together and could be considered childhood sweethearts, and he would give her an explanation after knowing the truth.
Unexpectedly, Wen Haitian didn't react at all. He left a few words and went back to his yard without any unnecessary movements.
Gao Zhi found that she couldn't kill Liu and Wen Yao, and Wen Haitian's reaction made her feel disappointed.
The breath that she had been holding in her heart just dissipated like that.
She returned to Wen Ling, knelt down to apologize to her, and kowtowed three times.
Wen Ling does not intend to forgive Gao Zhi. There must be something hateful about a pitiful person.
She forgives the bad guys, so who will give justice to those who have been hurt?
"It's up to the King of Hell to forgive you, and what I need to do is send you to see the King of Hell."
Gao Zhi trembled all over, then kowtowed deeply to Wen Ling again, and thanked her: "Thank you very much, Miss. I will never forget your kindness. I am willing to work like a cow or a horse to repay you in my next life!"
She is now a fierce ghost, and even if a fierce ghost regrets it, it cannot go down by itself.
What awaits them is either being directly destroyed by the ghost messenger, or being annihilated in the human world.
The fact that Wen Ling was still willing to send it down was the greatest help to it.
Wen Ling opened the door to rebirth, and Gao Zhi slowly walked in, looking back with a complicated expression.
I don’t know if she will regret her true love for the eldest young master of the Wen family.
She may be an unforgivable woman, but her only true love is for the eldest young master of the Wen family.
Wen Ling shook her head: "See, this is the end of being in love."
The listener who witnessed the whole process nearby: “……???”
Is this the point of the matter? !
On the Wen family's side, Liu and Wen Yao went to Baiyun Temple on the outskirts of the city to ask for help from the master who had helped them before.
I didn't expect that the master went out to travel and his return date was uncertain.
There was no other way, so they could only invite other masters from Baiyun Temple to come to their house to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits.
The master we invited worked on it and said that everything was fine. The yard was very clean and the evil ghost had been driven away by him and would not come back again.
Liu and Wen Yao were half-believing and half-doubting, but later on they did not have nightmares or strange things happen, and the matter passed.
Unexpectedly, within two days, after Wen Tingyun finished his court session, he found that his colleagues were looking at him in a strange way, and some of them gathered in groups of three or four to talk about him.
For several days in a row, Wen Tingyun couldn't help but ask his familiar colleagues.
The familiar colleague had an indescribable expression: "Master Wen, don't you know why? Master Wen, if you think carefully about the King of Qi going to your house for a banquet, you will figure it out."
"Now the King of Qi is attending a banquet at your house, and the second daughter of the Wen family lost control. She went crazy and hanged herself at night, and almost killed her mother. The news that your family hired a Taoist priest to exorcise the evil spirit the next day has already spread throughout the capital!"
Wen Tingyun just felt his head buzzing. He never expected that these things would be spread out.
He clearly gave orders at that time, ordering his servants not to tell anyone about these things.
The servants' indentures are all in the mansion, and the King of Qi still wants to win him over, so he should not say anything nonsense.
So how did this news get out?
Feeling very embarrassed, Wen Tingyun scolded Liu and Wen Yao as soon as he got home.
Wen Tingyun said angrily: "If you two idiots were not so scared of even killing people to silence them, and were so suspicious, these things would not have happened, and our Wen family would not have become a joke in the capital!"
Liu has recovered in the past two days. Without Gao Zhi to disturb her mind, she has regained her rationality.
She quickly put the blame on Wen Ling: "Master, isn't this matter simple?
No one can tell what happened on that day, so only that bitch Wen Ling would tell it!
She is no longer stupid now, she must hate our Wen family for marrying her to the half-paralyzed lunatic Prince Chen.
You also saw her attitude when she returned home. She looked like she was coming back to collect a debt! She must have spread it on purpose to harm us! ”
Wen Yao was also crying and agreeing with him.
Wen Tingyun listened to it. Wen Haitian originally felt a little guilty towards Wen Ling, but now that guilt was gone.
The whole family hated Wen Ling with gnashing teeth.
Wen Yao silently made up her mind not to let her catch the opportunity, otherwise she would completely destroy Wen Ling.
The Wen family would never have imagined that Wen Ling would see the whole farce in their family.
The last time Wen Ling went to the Wen family, he left a mark there.
As long as she is within the capital, she can check on the Wen family's situation anytime she wants.
